Title: HELP PLEASE: br0 and br1 are not configured
Post by: briega on Wednesday 20 April 2011, 01:30:56 am
Hello,

I have Endian installed in a virtual vmware machine, everything worked fine but now I have lost connection to the web console and to the Internet. I am able to access the Linux console and if I ifconfig I get:

br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
      inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

      Base address:0x2040 Memory:d8960000-d8980000

I can see that br0 and br1 do not have the same HWaddr. How can I manually cnange br0 and br1 HWaddrs?

Please help this is a production environment.

I am not an expert and I have been thought to this issue and I really need help. An System Access rule was created to allow external connections and then was deleted. When that happened we lost connection to the web console and Internet. We noticed that br0 and br1 are not configured. How can we reconfig them using the Endian Linux console?

Please help.

Hello,

I have used:

ifconfig eth0 hw ether [HW address]

to change the br0 and br1 HW addresses to the sames at eth0 and eth1 but still no access.

Also, if I restart the server it goes back to 00:00:00:00:00:00.

Is there a way to change System Access settings and open everything from the console?

Please help.

SOLVED.

For some reason br0 and br1 got mis configured during the time I create/delete the vlans for eth0 and eth1. To recreate the br links you have to edit:

nano var/efw/ethernet/br0

and add the nic name you want to use, in my case eth0

After doing the same for br1 {eth1} i reboot the EFW and everything went back to normal.
